We make designing custom diamond engagement rings fun and exciting! We guide you through the entire process, at your side every step of the way. In the end, you’ll have a cherished treasure that reflects your unique vision.

Here’s how it works:

1. Diamond and Metal Selection Phase

   Designing custom diamond engagement rings starts with the prized jewel at the center of it all: the diamond. Whether lab-grown (“above ground”) or earth-mind (“below-ground”), we’ll help you apply the tools of the trade to select the best quality diamond for your budget. Next, you’ll choose the type of metal you prefer, such as 14K yellow gold, 14K white gold, or platinum.

2. Concept Phase

   The fun and interactive process of designing custom diamond engagement rings continues with a meeting to determine the ring concept. Feel free to bring in photos or other examples of ring styles you or your partner likes, or you’re welcome to browse our samples for inspiration. We’ll work together to tease out the diamond cut, mounting, and other stylistic elements that make you smile. Even if it’s a new style or a unique concept, we’ll bring your ideas to life.

3. CAD Phase 

   Once the diamond is chosen and the vision for your custom diamond engagement ring is set, we’ll take the concept to our shop and create a computer-aided design (CAD) file. We’ll email you the design file as an image, or you’re welcome to come in to view what your custom diamond engagement ring will look like. This phase allows plenty of room for tweaks or revisions before moving on to the next step in the design process.

4. Wax Replica Phase

   After you’ve approved the CAD drawing, we’ll take that digital image and create an exact 3D printed wax replica of your custom diamond engagement ring that you can hold and even try on. While it won’t contain any metals or stone, the wax replica gives you a sense of the size, thickness, proportions, and overall style. We can even drop the lab-grown or earth-mined diamond you chose to help you imagine how the ring will look once completed. Now is the time to make any final changes before the casting phase begins.

5. Casting Phase

   One of the last steps of designing custom diamond engagement rings is the casting phase, where we’ll cast the ring using your chosen metal. At this stage, you can review it again to ensure the width and other elements are correct before we move on to the final setting phase.

6. Set and Finish Phase

   The final stage of designing custom diamond engagement rings is to set the stones, finish, and polish to dazzle and sparkle. This part of the design process usually takes about 3 to 6 weeks. We guarantee that your custom diamond engagement ring will be a piece you’ll be proud to slip on your fiancée’s finger.
